Celebrity Big Brother 2011
Amy Childs is evicted from The Celebrity Big Brother House 2011, Elstree Studios, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.
Paddy Doherty has won Celebrity Big Brother. The Big Fat Gypsy Weddings star beat runner-up Kerry Katona and third place Jedward – who had been favourites to win the Channel 5 fly-on-the-wall show – to be crowned champion of the series.
He said: “I want to say thank you to English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish voters. God bless every one of you. I swear to God, I swear on my life, I thought I would be out after one week.
“I never thought I would get this far. I had no game plan, I was just myself. I am me and that’s it.”
However, Paddy admitted he was “surprised” at how well the group accepted him in to their fold, as he felt like a “fish out of water”.
He added to Big Brother host Brian Dowling: “I was in a goldfish bowl, I was with people who have millions. I’m not used to mixing with people like that, I was a fish out of water. It surprised me how well a traveller could fit in, those people are tremendous.”
But the reality TV star confessed although he loved his time in the infamous house, he could have “drowned” Jedward at times.
Paddy joked: “Jedward are a pair of sausages. It was a nightmare living with them, I wanted to pick them up and drown them.”
Meanwhile, emotional runner-up Kerry – who has battled drug addiction, two divorces and bankruptcy in the past – thanked the British public for giving her the chance to right her previous wrongs.
She explained: “In the whole of my celebrity career, I never thought I’d get the chance to put the wrong right. This show has let me do that.
“My eldest daughter is 10 and I want to make her proud of me and do the right thing. A massive thank you to everyone who voted for me, not just for me but for my babies.
“I made some solid friends in there. Paddy and Darryn will be friends for life. Paddy gave me so much advice, and said, ‘Leave your past at the door’. I’ve been through it all, I’ve written the book, I’ve got the t-shirt.”
Big Brother launches with 14 new housemates tomorrow night (09.09.11) at 9.30pm on Channel 5, with the contestants set to be welcomed in to the house by former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson.
She said: “I’m going to give them the ride of their lives. I’m going to leave a skid mark on every one of them.”

Anyone who’s seen every episode of Project Runway and is now having major fashion-TV withdrawals will be so, sooooo excited about this news – the Lifetime network that Project Runway is a part of have got a new show in the pipeline – and it’s going to be fronted by our very own Alexa Chung.
The show, which is rumoured to be called “24-Hour Catwalk”, will show designers competing against each other in runway challenges, with the iconic designer Cynthia Rowley apparently taking part in the show. No doubt Alexa will pull out all the fashion stops when it comes to her outfits for the show. She’ll also need to get a cute little phrase she says at the end of each show, like when Heidi Klum says “Auf Wiedersehen!”.
We hope that this project goes ahead SO MUCH. Nothing beats sitting in your PJs on a Sunday night eating ice-cream and watching tearful designers screaming at each other while they huddle over their sewing machines like prisoners of war.

Jenny Frost looked pretty and glamorous in her black maxi dress, hanging off Jeff Brazier who looked sweet in a tweed blazer
We always knew that Big Brother would be back, and now that lovely old Channel 5 has bought the show it’s not going to be long until it’s back on the airwaves. Yesterday the press launch party took place in Hertfordshire, with Big Brother’s most famous (and forgotten) faces in attendance.
Naturally, Brian Belo was there – the day he doesn’t come to anything BB related will be the day we die of shock – and he actually looked quite nice yesterday in a crumpled white shirt with some slim-fitting men’s chinos. Another Brian that looked quite lovely was our favourite, Brian Dowling, who looked very dapper and sharp in a two-piece grey men’s suit.
On the girl’s side we had the beautiful TV presenter Emma Willis, who looked fresh and pretty in a polka-dot tea dress with red detailing and red patent heels. Also there was the ex-Atomic Kitten and Snog Marry Avoid? presenter Jenny Frost, who showed off long, tanned pins in a split-skirt black maxi dress, with lots and lots of gold jewellery. Keep up the good work, Jenny.
We must also note that some ex-housemates did not make much of a sterling effort: last series’ Sam Pepper wore scruffy cut-offs, his usual cap and a bright yellow T-shirt. I’m sorry, Sam, but didn’t anyone tell you that this is a glitzy event? BRIAN BELO is here, for god’s sake. 2009′s Marcus Akin was there – you know, the one that looks like a rubbish Wolverine – in a cringey Ed Hardy tee and leather bracelets. No one should wear Ed Hardy when they’re emptying the cat litter tray, let alone going to a press party. Take note Marcus.
To see which housemates were at the launch, check the gallery above.

Fans of The City may be surprised to learn that one of the show’s cast is already pulling out. Erin Lucas has confirmed that she will not be returning for the second season.
“I decided to do something different,” she told NY Mag. “I have a project in the mix, but I want to get into more hosting. That’s really what I love. It was just hard. It was a chapter in my life and it was nothing but positive. I’m glad I did it, but on to the next thing”.
She also admitted that she hadn’t spoken to Whitney Port for months.
“We were [close], but things change,” she said. “There was a falling out”.
Oh dear! Erin also said that there were no hard feelings, and if she ever saw Whitney again she would give her a big hug.
At the end of last season, The City also lost Jay after Whitney decided to break up with him to focus on her career and being a single gal about town. At this rate, there won’t be anyone left.

Is Dancing with the Stars about to get an injection of style?
The rumor mill claims that Vera Wang has signed on to star in the next season of TV’s celebrity dance show, due to premiere September 21.
As we all know, Vera trained as a figure skater before embarking on a long career in fashion. She even competed in the 1968 US National Championships and tried out for the Olympics in the same year. Later, she designed outfits for Nancy Kerrigan and Michelle Kwan.
I wonder if we’ll get to see some of her moves on the dance floor. In any case, she is bound to have the best costumes in the competition.

As I mentioned yesterday, rat-face Spencer Pratt has admitted to lying to Lauren Conrad in order to get her to come to his wedding to Heidi Montag. Nevertheless, as we all know L.C. did attend the wedding, filmed (and likely paid for) by MTV for Sunday’s episode of The Hills. Here is a sneak peek of what went on inside the church for the couple’s big day. My favourite part has to be the appalled look on L.C.’s face when her old rival and new replacement Kirsten Cavallari unexpectedly shows up. I honestly couldn’t have scripted it better myself. Click play on video above to watch.

Don’t I hear ya sister!
On the brink of her television departure from The Hills, due to air on Sunday, Lauren Conrad has admitted that she prefers a more casual look when hanging out with boyfriend, Kyle Howard.
“I feel sexiest with him when I’m in sweatpants and no makeup,” she tells the June issue of Cosmopolitan.
In addition to her sexy sweatpant style, L.C. also confessed that she was annoyed at producers for insisting that she and Heidi Montag be brought together.

Elle magazine has picked itself up and dusted itself off after Stylista was cancelled on the CW network. Instead, it will feature in MTV’s The City, after the show’s resident ice queen, Olivia Palermo, scored a job in the publicity department of the magazine. Sources say that shooting of season two is already under way, with cameras entering the Elle offices this week. I wonder, will this television venture will be more successful?

Has Paulina Porizkova become just another victim of the global economic crisis? That is what Tyra Banks is citing after the Czech model was fired as judge on America’s Next Top Model. The only problem is that Paulina doesn’t quite see it that way.
She revealed on the Late Late Show that she was fired because it was suggested that she had a big ego. She then insinuated on Access Hollywood that behind-the-scenes Tyra is a diva, who was consistently late to set and only spoke to her in front of the cameras. Now, Tyra has responded to the claims by releasing the following statement:
“The current state of the economy has forced shows to make major budget cuts industry wide. America’s Next Top Model is not immune to these financially challenging times. We’ve had to make significant cuts in every area of the production and, unfortunately, Paulina was a casualty of these cuts.”

It’s a bit of Lauren Conrad overload today, but we thought you’d still like to know those rumours that she would be resting her fashion label really weren’t a sign that she was giving up on design for good.
Why? Because the reality TV star has just announced a new collaboration with Kohl’s department stores.
Just a month after LC revealed she would be taking a hiatus from her upscale line, she has revealed that she will be launching a brand new range, called LC Lauren Conrad, for Kohl’s.
“It is a California chic line,” she said. “It is a little more casual. They are basically trying to take that California style and make it accessible everywhere.”

Heidi Klum is facing pressure to find a new network home for Project Runway, after it was dumped by Bravo for a copycat designer reality show, called Fashion House.
TV execs at Bravo have all ready opened auditions for the replacement series, announcing casting call dates in four major cities, which began in New York on Sunday.
Series owner, Harvey Weinstein, sold the series to Lifetime for a reported $150 million last summer. But that deal was blocked by Bravo, which issued a court order to stop the sale.
The case is due back in court next month, however it seems that plans to pause production on a clone show until it is settled have been scrapped.

Season 4 of Project Runway premieres on Wednesday, have you checked out the new designers yet? There’s Chris, who seems like a combination of Jay and Austin. There are a few Parsons graduates: Jillian, Marion, and Simone. Maybe they’ll go up against FIT kids Kit and Kevin. There are definitely more smirky smiles than genuine grins with this group, so watch out! Be sure to check back after every episode for our recap of the design and drama! The judges say we’ll be surprised with some of their choices this season.
